yet another rom from ric ahah man i think your the only person making roms now for sk4g

i personally like the holo launcher (feels less buggy) adw feel like there is a delay at times or atleast when i was using it on glorious overdose it felt buggy to me

p.s. is the lockscreen mod preventing you from removing the network status is display?

if so ima just stick to ics rebuix

edit: i wanted to ask an see if you could edit the handcent notification for led an put them in the messaging.apk or something like that as ive seen a post that the app can use sidekick led (may not be true)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] RicAndroid:
It does seem as if I am the only person making roms....lol. Just as in ICS Redux, I have removed the lockscreen mod. I have included a flashable zip for those that want it. :cool:
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ivoe:
alright that good i may check this out soon

yea i haven't seen sam (glorious overdose 4.1) on since last year

and yea im gonna look into this handcent an see if this gives me leds (just gonna use it today cuz i know the messaging.apk dosnt give any led notification)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] SammaelAkuma:
Re: [ROM] neXus JB [2/23/13]

That's because my sk4g is dead. USB port isn't working and it's no longer under warranty. And the GOV 4.2 I promised got wiped from my PC due to HDD failure.

Also, this is looking hot, man.

Re: [ROM] neXus JB [2/23/13]

And can you upload some screenshots? Of the messaging an the settings for it?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] RicAndroid:
Re: [ROM] neXus JB v1.2 [UPDATED][3/02/13]

Unpinked is removing that God awful pink line located at the bottom and the send button. I replaced them to give it a more Holo look.

I'll upload a pic in a few minutes. Believe me...I tried everything.

Re: [ROM] neXus JB v1.2 [UPDATED][3/02/13]

This looks like a good ROM for my sidekick. I liked your last rom I was using as well. I do agree on switching the launcher to adw. I was using it for a while on this phone before I finally figured out how to get their cm10.1 jellybean ROM to flash. It has been the best one I have used so far.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] rpmccormick:
Thanks Ric for the continued work.

What? CM10.1 JB ROM, you mean for a different phone? What?

Anyway, you guys have all heard this from me before, but...

1) Holo is Ric's fav. I like the look too. I'd use Holo over ADW any day if memory wasn't an issue.

2) Don't get me wrong, I used to use only ADW, never LauncherPro, and it is great.

3) Zeam has all the same great things ADW has with the smallest memory footprint of anything other than LL (LightningLauncher = confusing).

Therefore, I think Ric should either stick with Holo for the look, or use Zeam for the performance. ADW is a bad choice.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] RicAndroid:
Re: [ROM] neXus JB v1.2 [UPDATED][3/02/13]

Yeah, exactly. I'm doing this for the eye candy of Holo. The launcher complements the theme that I implemented on the rom itself.

It does take up resources which is bad, I know. The Holo look just gives the SK4G some sexiness...hahaha.

I may sit down one day and theme all of the system icons and then switch over to Zeam. ;)

You should add stuff from cm6-7 like gallery an that stuff an see which ones work or don't woould be a nice touch
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] rpmccormick:
I'd love it if you made a ROM with Zeam and with no live wallpapers or pickers. Otherwise themed as this or your GB... both look awesome. Great work! Maybe merge all the sound-files together, I like some here and some in GB.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] RicAndroid:
Re: [ROM] neXus JB v1.2 [UPDATED][3/02/13]

That seems interesting...get rid of the live wallpapers and merge a few sound files. I doubt the live wp is used anyway. I don't use them as it does consume too much battery.

I may do that with the Epic SK4G rom. The Legacy Launcher is not that stable and it seems like a good opportunity to present a merged neXus....thanks for the idea!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] RicAndroid:
Re: [ROM] neXus JB v1.2 [UPDATED][3/02/13]

Well...upon adding the final touches to a pretty sexy looking Cyanogen themed rom, I came to find out that the UOT Kitchen is down...maybe for good. :(

Now, I'll have to manually edit the battery icons one by one with my GIMP software. No big deal as it's just a matter of taking the ICS icons and adjusting the hue levels.

On the negative side...I won't be making any more themed roms for this phone. Too much work for something obsolete...makes no sense, IMO.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] rpmccormick:
Yeah, it's pretty much done. Are you doing one final release after GIMPing?

I'm pretty sure I'm gonna jump to the HTC One. I'll miss a keyboard, but I have no confidence we will ever see a flagship with one. Pity.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] RicAndroid:
Re: [ROM] neXus JB v1.2 [UPDATED][3/02/13]

Yeah...I'll finish this CM themed rom. Which will be a merge of the two neXus roms. Then, maybe release final updates and that's it.

People are moving on and getting new phones. This forum is getting close to being inactive which is sad...I fear that by the time bhundven's project gets released, there will only be five users left....LOL.

Anyway, I'm anxious to see something new and I'll stick around. I'll be more of a spectator, though and retire from the rom cooking.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] TheLastSidekick:

Re: [ROM] neXus JB v1.2 [UPDATED][3/02/13]

Hahaha....I've decided to get a JB 4.1.1 7 inch tablet since I can't really afford to upgrade now. I'll also get a 32 GB microsd card with it.

It makes sense....I'm getting tired of carrying my ancient laptop around and my SK4G screen is just way to small for viewing movies. I also needed something for my ebooks.

For those interested in the model...it's gonna be a Pipo S1 7 inch JB 4.1.1 tablet. Not a Nexus 7 or an iPad, I know. But it got excellent reviews on Amazon and YouTube.

Re: [ROM] neXus JB v1.2 [UPDATED][3/02/13]

Sorry for slacking guys. I've been in lazy mode and hard to get back into cooking mode.

I need to just finish up like several icons for neXus CM and that's it.

I may take neXus JB and polish it up a bit more, too. As far as VLC goes, I'll leave that up to the users. I may upload the link to it but will not bake into the roms like before.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ged92781:
Thanks for doing the cooking on all these ROMs!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] nrzm:
Here again installed your rom thank you again for your good work and like i told you i will install multi lang. By mokh. The result its not support for froyo its crashed the rom and fixed it automatically ........ But may i ask smthing what the different between nexus cm and jb ? :confused:
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ivoe:
basicly just the looks of it from the boot animation and the launcher used other than that it may be some wall papers an a few of those things both are great roms an both run amazingly

i dont really know about the internal stuff tho like the frameworks an all of that
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] RicAndroid:
Re: [ROM] neXus JB v1.2 [UPDATED][3/02/13]

Ah, I had a feeling it wouldn't work. The Android frameworks change with every update. I'll find a way to make it work though.

As immorality pointed out, the main differences are the launchers used and slight differences with the theming used. JB is Holo while CM is Holo with a different hue. The lockscreen mod also looks different. Also, JB uses the Nexus 4 analog clock widget.

EDIT: Actually, testing out both now, I'd say CM performs better due to the launcher. Low memory usage gives it better performance.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] digimancer:
I know you you aren't going to make any more themed roms, but would you consider merging the CM and JB with both themes selectable?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] RicAndroid:
Re: [ROM] neXus JB v1.2 [UPDATED][3/02/13]

Well...that would mean re-theming Holo Launcher which would be kind of pointless. Once an app gets updated it reverts back to the original settings.

I can use Zeam on JB but the Holo look and feel would just not be the same, y'know? Even if I theme all the system icons, the app drawer would not resemble Jelly Bean.

I used Zeam on CM because the new ADW launcher is not that good and Legacy Launcher was unstable.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] RicAndroid:
I'm rolling out an update for this rom as well. Included in it will be new Lockscreen Mod Settings.apk and Mms.apk to make them look more like Jelly Bean's. Kinda neat if you plan on using a different launcher.

I have also polished up the framework as well. There were several PNGs that looked out of place or needed an extra touch.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] RicAndroid:
Re: [ROM] neXus JB v1.2.1 [UPDATED][4/01/13]

Later on...when I have time...I'm going to take the other system icons, like the web browser and contacts, and re-theme them as well.

The mms.apk still has a few pinks that I need to get rid of as well. I'll get to it as soon as I finish de-pinking the neXus GB mms.apk.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] RicAndroid:
Re: [ROM] neXus JB v1.2.2 [UPDATED][4/01/13]

Wow...after re-theming the icons, ADW Launcher does look pretty sweet now!....hmmm....you guys be the judge.

I still prefer Holo Launcher, but I must admit....the re-theming makes a difference!

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ivoe:
i kinda liked the cm 6.2 gallery but its very bugging to me

and of course this is your rom if you think it would complete the theme then do it if people dont like it they dont have to upgrade it (or maybe thats just the as- in me talking :D ahah )

anyways nexus roms are amazing smooth an just cleaner im sure everyone who uses these wont have any complaints other then wanted something a little different or extra

now lets just hope cm6/7 development goes great (:

1.2.2 OTA-Updater

For some reason the OTA Updater failed to install the update, probably because of the CWM version I was using "CWM_v3.0.2.8_SK4G_FIXED" which actually has been doing something strange, it dumps me to the stock recovery after which I have to install the CWM via update.zip, and then use the recovery... So I manually installed it that way, which sadly wiped all my data (which is backed up).

On the bright side, your rom has a better recovery, so I am gonna try a partial recover (system+data) and then give the OTA update a shot, and hopefully not have to re-download my 40+ apps...lol wish me luck!

Edit:

This was a very bad idea.. LOL... Installing the old ROM from scratch, then recover, then try to OTA update.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] shadowscott:
Unless I'm mistaken, when you installed this shouldn't it have installed Red CWM as part of the Bali kernel?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ivoe:
Yes the rom has the red cwm

But he is saying he had to update through the 2 cwm yellow as it messed up
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] digimancer:
The problem is, instead of booting into the red cwm, it boots into the factory one... Not the orange cwm, the blue factory restore... I have no idea why OTA does it, RomToolbox Pro, The shutdown menu, and CWM Manager all boot into the red CWM. Its perplexing that this device has 2 recovery apps installed at the same time somehow.. 3 Finger boot also takes me to the red CWM. From what I can find scouring the threads, it has something to do with "the system binary file" whatever that is...

I decided to say screw it, back up all the apps with RomToolbox Pro from the 1.2 ROM and then restore them after updating to 1.2.2... Whatever the issue is, the OTA update pretty much hates me, and I cant upgrade w/o losing my /data.:confused:
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] RicAndroid:
Hmmm....perhaps download it, shut down OTA and manually install it using the standard red CWM?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ivoe:
When you finish downloading an it ask to choose what to wipe just press home button then hold power an go to recovery (if you already backed up everything you need) an want to wipe everything else update to yellow cwm wipe everything then unmount system then go find the .zip (ota updater folder)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] RicAndroid:
Guys...I'm so sorry. I need to reupload this rom because I failed to update the build.prop. The phone still says v1.2.2 when it should be v1.3. I was so excited about the Jump key fix that I missed that. My bad.

When I was using this rom I had no issues

My suggestion is that you may have a lot of bloat on internal memory

Now to the main reason for this post ...

Hey ric I've found a messaging app called ics messaging it looks really nice (I can't seem to find it on the android market so I don't know if its paid for or not) but it gives a really nice look for messaging an black or white thread choice

You should check it out might make a good substatue for a theme ? (: seeing as the original is limited

Maybe put it on gov5

If you can find it anywhere ill message you the file I found (:
